Well that's what I was thinking. You could connect to it through X 
server, and run x terminals... but is there anything like that for JACK 
then? Like if I'm on one of the production terminals, can I connect the 
sound input of that computer to JACK of the renderfarm? Somebody 
mentioned using JACK over TCP/IP, but that it would cause latency 
issues... what if its just over a local ethernet, gigabit ethernet? 
Because it would be a pain in the ass to walk over to the next room to 
control to unplug and plug in audio inputs, then walk back over to the 
terminal. This seems possible, but I'm unsure of JACKs TCP/IP abilities. 
I'll go do some research.
